Picking the soundtrack for short film!



Hey, Bloggers! So when it was introduced that our project his year was a short film, many ideas popped into my head. I already knew what type of look and sound I wanted for mine. I also know it's harder to get some music, because of copyright issues. To also help me get an better understanding of the type of music I wanted, I did some research, well more than just some. I watched a lot of horror/ thriller films on YouTube to see how they placed it and to see what it "should" sound like. I found a lot of things that inspired me. 

I wanted to use music by artists "Ken Carson" and "Playboi Carti". They in a label "Opium" that fits what I've envisioned for my film, but I have to get around the copy right. I know with those artists it'll be really difficult because their management isn't that good. So I went looking on YouTube, so that I wasn't too dependent on that idea. I found some stuff but it felt like "cliche" horror/thriller music.

I know a friend that makes music in the same genre as "Playboi Carti" and "Ken Carson" so I asked him for a song. He gave me a few songs and they fit it really well. So I'm going with that option. I was so glad that I remembered that my friend makes music because it soo much easier getting around the copyright. And his music is pretty good so this could be some exposure for his songs, lol.

But that's it for this blog, Bloggers! Catch you in the next one.

XOXO, Laudjah.

          Hey bloggers, its Laudjah. It's time to crunch down on how I'm going to do the production of my commerical. Let's get into to how I' m actually going to film it. I'm going to be using my iPhone 11 to film anything that needs to be filmed. I don't have a professional camera to use, but the iPhone is literally just as good as an average camera. For the actual editing, I'm going to be using an app called "CapCut". I've used this app before and used it before. It did go viral on TikTok for it being a easy tool to edit and it really is easy to use, like A+ to those who made it. I've never had to edit or film anything for like a class so I want it to look good. I already had to app downloaded from using it previously. Knowing I had to use it I looked up on TikTok how you could use it for editing videos and not just making "edits" as you could see on that app. I started just playing in the app to get a feel of how to work it. I...

Final Task Group Blog

  Hey Bloggers! Let’s get into the details of my Final Task. For the project I’m gonna be working with some friends. I’m gonna work with Alyssa, she’s in my class, and Maria, she’s in a different class. I’m working with Alyssa because I’ve known her since freshman, she’s one of my good friends, and I know she’s reliable. Maria and I just started becoming close this year and I feel like she’s a good person to work with. This wasn’t the original plan for the people I was going to work with. A friend that Alyssa and I know we’re planning on working together, but they chose to work with other people. It was slightly more out of convenience. Since he worked with them perviously on the music video, he decided to just stay with them for the final task. So I get it, I guess. For our Final Task I was thinking about doing like a horror type video or a little drama thriller, but I don't know time will tell.  The reason why this song was picked was because like those are amazing genre's s...
